At each Patio'ke qualifying event, 15 people will randomly be selected to perform a song on stage. Finalists will move on to perform at the Minnesota State Fair on Saturday, August 26. One winner, chosen by a panel of musicians, will receive $1,000 cash and will perform on Twin Cities Live on Monday, August 28!For your best chance to be selected, show up to the venue by 6 p.m. to register. Names will be chosen at random throughout the evening. You can attend multiple qualifiers, however, if you have gone on stage once during the 2017 qualifying season, you must wait until all new contestants have gone at the particular qualifier you attend.
